Ukrainian forces launch full-scale attack on pro-Russian separatists as ceasefire ends

[dipsydoodle]

Ukrainian forces have launched a full-scale military attack against pro-Russian separatists in the east of the country, just hours after a fragile truce officially ended.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko had earlier ended a unilateral ceasefire vowing: "We will attack, we will free our land."

Government officials said rebel bases and strongholds were under attack from aircraft and artillery.

In a website statement early this morning President Poroshenko, who had already extended the cease-fire from seven to 10 days, said his decision was "a response to terrorists, rebels, looters," and all those he said are "paralyzing the economy of the region."
